Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Du Bois, PA

Do you struggle with navigating relationships, low stress tolerance, chronic pain or internal fears that affect how you show up for yourself and others? Do you often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated or lost by just getting through the day? Do you ever question your purpose? Now, more than ever people are struggling to find their place in life. My primary focus is working with people who have experienced narcissistic abuse, disordered eating, and/or depression. I believe people can change through therapy but many don't know where to start. I can point you in the right direction. Therapy within a Christian framework is offered.

Therapy should be a safe space that is customized to fit your needs. I utilize various techniques from different types of therapy based on your personal story and experiences. Maybe you experienced some trauma and you need help finding your way through it. You want to find ways to alleviate stress, or need to resolve some concerns that you can't seem to get past. You want someone to help you set achievable goals, find yourself, or get out of that funk you've been stuck in. You're coming out of a difficult relationship or you are wondering if it's time to leave. Let me help you create a better tomorrow.

Would you like more from your life and relationships? Are you struggling to be happy? Look no further! I primarily work with individuals (mostly adults) dealing with relationship issues such as Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. I do not do marriage counseling or family counseling, per se, but most distress is caused by conflicts in interpersonal relationships! I can help you navigate these obstacles and help guide you toward inner peace and happiness. My counseling approaches consist of; 'Choice Theory' 'Cognitive Behavioral/CBT. 'Interpersonal' and 'Client Centered'.

Ever have an experience that left a “bad taste” in your mouth? As your Therapist, my job is to provide a safe and comforting environment for you. Therapy presents the opportunity to work through “struggle points”, “stuckness”, and those “settling moments” we may find ourselves in. I believe in resiliency, perseverance, and striving for ongoing growth. It is with great passion, I look forward to going on this journey with you to identify your strengths, help to obtain balance in your life, and explore purpose and meaning that can offer you with the greatest gift of all; “A deep sense of who you are”.

Will I ever be good enough?....Maybe I AM the crazy one?... Have you had these thoughts? Are you anxious, depressed, a chronic people pleaser? Have your "loved ones" blamed you for "everything that is wrong"? Do you hate the way they act around you, but then a few memories of when they were nice make you feel guilty for having those thoughts (cognitive dissonance)? This is all normal if you have experienced narcissistic abuse or emotionally immature parents. This is where I come in. Healing is a real possibility. You deserve it and I'm dedicated to helping you move from surviving to thriving!

My name is Dr. Steven S. Carter. I am a research and clinical psychologist whose career began in The Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My work involved the study of Anxiety, Depression and Bipolar Disorder. I have been trained in Interpersonal, Cognitive and Behavioral therapies. I am currently in private practice. I offer individual, couples and family therapy. Recently, I have been working with families to help them understand family members who do have a mood disorder. My approach is to listen and learn from you. I think this is the best way to build a trusting relationship between us.

I have lived experience with neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, and being in a plus sized body. I have experience working with the above as well as clients with BPD, Bipolar 1 & 2, PTSD, and clients who just feel like they need a safe space to discuss day to day life stressors. I stress to my clients that therapy is for everyone and there is no such thing as a "trauma olympics" where something is better or worse than others! I work with clients age 6+.

If you are looking for a therapist who can help you feel more in control of your life and your emotions, you are at the right place. I have experience working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Getting to know yourself deeper is a primary goal of therapy, as it will allow you to figure out what you might need in life: your relationships, work life, hobbies. You will discover healthy ways to cope with things outside of your control, instead of using self-destructive ways. I will assist you by offering a space free of judgment and stigma.

On our journey it can be helpful to have someone to help us read the narratives which often define our lives. Some of those narratives keep us from experiencing what we want for ourselves now and in the future. Since graduating with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2010, I have been working as a therapist with people in various stages of life. A relationship between a therapist and client can provide someone with a deep reflection of how they live and are experienced. I believe therapy can give us the opportunity to rediscover our story in a new way. Real change is possible.

My ideal client would be one who wants to change destructive beliefs and is willing to work on their goals in therapy. Their issues would be challenges related to having mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, or substance abuse disorders. Their needs would be someone to listen to them and challenge their faulty beliefs and cognitive distortions. Their goals would be to improve their overall coping, communication, and stress levels.
